Did you drive the Honda 90 MPH down US 75?

On occasion, more often 80 to 85. The car was always very solid at
that kind of speed - good tires of course, and everything in balance.
Europeans drive that fast all the time even faster in Germany. The
US, particularly the eastern states, has always been more sedate. I
see signs of change however. At one time anything over 70 would get
you a guaranteed ticket on the New York State Thruway. Nowadays a lot
of people are running 75+.
More and more the autobahn speed limit is 130kph, which is pretty close to 80. In
Germany, the places with unlimited speed limit are dwindling rapidly. The Europeans
have more and more radar cameras mounted on overpasses to catch speeders.
